Any Cli MCP Server Overview

eirikb/any-cli-mcp-server MCP server turns a command-line tool into an MCP server by reading the tool's --help output and generating MCP tools from it. Run it with a CLI name such as gh, az, or git, or point it at a previously generated cache file. The optional cache-build mode can improve startup performance when help discovery is slow or repeated. Reach for it when an existing CLI is available but does not have a dedicated MCP server.

Primary Use Cases for Any Cli MCP Server:
  • Expose GitHub CLI commands through MCP
  • Wrap Azure CLI operations for an MCP client
  • Make Git commands available as generated MCP tools
  • Cache CLI help data to reduce startup work
